Disco de 2Pac: “Best of 2Pac Part 2: Life [PA] [Digipak]”

i thought this was a good compilation of pacs classic tracks, i honestly think itl take like 10 cds to fit all of his best work possibly more, though i still recommened the older greatest hits compilation, this one is just as good because of the bonus tracks and the digitaly remastered tracks, not recommended if you already have every tupac cd, but highly if your trying to get into him.

I ordered this from amazon and the package was for Life. When I opened it the disc inside was from Thug (the other cd) I contacted Amazon and they sent another and the same problem. This is obviously not Amazon's fault but who ever is distributing them. There is no way to check which disc is inside without opening it, and explaining this to people is not easy either as this is not a common problem.

when will the 2pac estate put out the songs the way pac originally recorded dopefiend's diner is on here and that's one of my favorite pac songs and the powers that be ruined all his unreleased re cordings man screw all ya'll and I hope pac's ghost haunts you all remember what he said touch one of mine aND HE'LL DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH.

I won't go deep into detail on each song as almost all of them will be familiar to most Tupac fans. Even though Part 1: Thug and Part 2: Life are sold separately, they are meant to be part of one compilation, as evidenced by Afeni Shakur's little open letter inside.

If you're just getting into Tupac, and you're seeking a compilation, it's better to the "Greatest Hits" 2-CD compilation from 1998, as it's a good, solid overview of Tupac's work, having most of the tracks Tupac fans will need in a 2-CD set.

The problem with this new compilation (and Part 1: Thug) is that they mostly offer songs already available on other Tupac CDs. There are some "unreleased" tracks offered, only two or so, and they're not worth the price of purchase. There are other officially unreleased tracks that should be here, such as "Life's So Hard."

And another thing that weakens these compilations is that their titles ("Thug" and "Life") first give you the impression that "Thug" will have the harder songs and "Life" the more reflective ones. But the "Life" compilation interestingly enough is the only disc that has songs with "Thug" in the titles, and the "Thug" disc has some reflective/heartfelt songs, such as a remix of "Dear Mama," which, by the way, is nowhere near a match for the original -- this remix practically takes all the emotion out of the song.

So, unless you're a Tupac fan that has to have everything get these compilations, otherwise you can skip them.
